| Today was the annual Dallas Paleontological Society
field trip to Oliver Creek near Justin, Texas. We were joined by
members of the Houston and Austin groups. The creek bed cuts through
upper Goodland formation and is abundant in Oxytropidoceras
ammonites and the occasional other goodies. While dozens of ammonites were
collected I only took a picture of the best one. |

construction site near Denton. This location exposes both the Mainstreet
and Grayson formations. |
